Question

Visitors to a carnival are invited to guess the number of beans in a jar. The person who guesses the correct number wins $300. If multiple people guess correctly, the prize will be divided evenly among them.What is the relationship between the number of people who guess correctly shd the amount of money each person will receive?

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

The person who guesses the correct number wins $300: amount (a) = $300

If multiple people guess correctly, the prize will be divided evenly among them. This means that the amount to be shared is $300 irrespective of how many people guess rightly

The relationship between the number of people who guess correctly and the amount of money each person will receive is given by:

`\begin{gathered} prize=(amount)/(NumberOfPeople) \\ p=(a)/(n) \end{gathered}`
